Rockstar Games has just released a brand new trailer for its upcoming GTA V, which consists of three separate parts – for each of the three main characters.

Jump to the trailer, which you can see the stories of Michael, Franklin and Trevor.

The first of three presentations surrounds Michael, a fellow who has a family and a home life that’s not especially fantastic. He’s having a mid-life crisis and his wife has cheated on him. Also he’s prone to destroying vehicles and massive amounts of violence. Of course. His experience is outlined by the song Radio Gaga as performed by Queen.

Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Grand Theft Auto V will hit shelves on September 17. The PC version is in the works, but it will most likely launch in 2014. At the moment it would appear that the PlayStation 4 and next-generation Xbox will not be supported (at least at the outset), but may be in the future. No worries those latest consoles are not yet available and they will not be stores for a while. Anyway we’ll keep you updated as always.

Back to last August, Samsung has announced that it would be looking to expand its semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas.

Recently the South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the world’s No.1 memory-chip maker, said that talks with local authorities have bieng completed, giving Samsung the green light to go forward with the expansion.

The impetus behind the $3.9 billion investment is likely the plants involvement in the large scale production of mostly Apple Ax SoCs. By expanding its operations in Apple’s backyard, so to speak, Samsung will be able to provide chips to Apple at even lower cost.

This is especially interesting in light of rumors floating around that Apple is looking for a new chip supplier, given all of its recent legal troubles with the Korean giant. It looks like Samsung is trying to make it even more difficult for Apple to break ties, a process that would potentially take years to complete.

We’ve already heard a good bit of speculation regarding Apple’s next iPhone, so far attached to the name iPhone 5S, though we’ve no reason yet to believe that will be its official title. Most of that has focused on what Apple could be thinking concerning just when to release the phone, without going into much detail on what exactly would make it different from the iPhone 5. Now one analyst is taking a stab at few specifics, and some of what he suggests could be a big departure from iPhones of years past.

These ideas come from analyst Peter Misek, who has a bit of a hit-and-miss record when it comes to Apple gear. Maybe he’s missing the mark entirely this time, maybe he nails it, but we’re guessing the truth could lie somewhere between the two.

Misek believes that Apple will finally start selling the iPhone 5S in a multitude of colors, iPod-style. That may seem long overdue, but considering how many colorful case options the iPhone always seems to have available, we’re not sure just how big a difference it might make.

He also takes a few stabs at iPhone hardware, suggesting that Apple will come around to accepting NFC and include support in the iPhone 5S. That would be great to see, but we also know how hard-headed Apple can be about adopting tech just because everyone else is using it. There’s also mention of a “better” battery (not necessarily larger), and a “super HD camera/screen”. We have no idea what “super HD” is supposed to be, unless Apple is thinking of going the way of 1080p with >400ppi pixel density.

According to Misek, the iPhone 5S will launch in June.

As always these are just rumors, so take this news with a pinch of salt.

Rockstar has released a new trailer for the upcoming GTA V. The video does not feature any gameplay sequences but gives a look at the general setting of the game.

GTA V will take place in the fictional location called Los Santos in San Andreas. It will be Rockstar’s biggest open world game yet and feature three new protagonists, all of whom will be playable. The three characters have different stories that intertwine as the game progress and eventually you will be switching between the characters as they work together to accomplish a single goal.

GTA V will be released in spring 2013. Till then, you can get a glimpse on the game by watching the trailer below.

Rockstar has revealed some details about its upcoming blockbuster : Grand Theft Auto V in the latest issue of Gameinformer magazine.

While details aren’t as thorough as some would like, they are enough to get our mouths watered. For starters, there are going to be three main characters in the game for us to play with.

Yes, Rockstar is betting high with GTA V by putting three protagonists. Using a new game mechanic, you’ll be even able to switch between characters while on a mission, for example. As the lengthy, exclusive 18-page article details, in some cases this’ll be of great importance for some missions.

As for the characters themselves, they are also revealed – Michael, Trevor and Franklin. Michael is a former bank buster in his early 40s giving up his retirement to earn an extra buck. Also in his forties is Trevor, a seasoned criminal and ex-military pilot. Lastly, there’s Franklin, who is in his mid-twenties and is the street hustler of the three.

Rockstar says that Los Santos, the imaginary city where the action is based, is the biggest world the studio has created yet. Additionally, there will be more means of transport than ever including a wider variety of cars, bikes (dirt bikes, road bikes, mountain bikes, BMX bikes), helicopters, planes, ATVs, trucks and even jet skis.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? For more in-depth information check out the source link below. On November 14, Rockstar is going to release a new trailer for the game, which should unveil even more aspects about it.

Unfortunately, Rockstar hasn’t mentioned anything about a PC version coming up, which makes me a bit sad. Nevertheless, are you excited how Grand Theft Auto V is shaping up?

Samsung has announced during The Memory Solution CIO Forum 2012 in South Korea, its new line-up of DDR3 RAM and SSD built using the 20nm manufacturing process.
